T H E 7 5 TH ANNI VE RS ARY S E AS ON The 2011-2012 season of the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir was a special time in the life of this cherished musical institution. Founded in 1937, the Choir celebrated its 75th anniversary season with the finest of choral music - including engaging and timely educational initiatives - while building on its legacy for an even more promising future. Reaching over 25,000 persons through more than 30 concerts and educational offerings during our 75th anniversary season, the Symphonic Choir plays an invaluable role in the fabric of the Indianapolis community. From the performance of Berlioz’s epic Requiem, which was last presented in Indianapolis more than 30 years ago, to world premiere performances of works by Stephen Hough and “Do You Hear the People Sing,” a salute to music from Les Misérables and Miss Saigon with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, this season combined classics from the choral repertoire with new, emerging compositions. Beyond the concert hall, the Symphonic Choir is dedicated to the future of Indianapolis’s residents. Now in its third year as the official choral partner of the Indianapolis Public Schools, school children, their teachers, and their families received priceless opportunities, expanding their education and helping to build tomorrow’s leaders. The Choir also launched a new program increasing access to high-quality classical music for the underserved elderly populations in the city’s urban core, in addition to initiatives like the Spotlight Choirs, Conducting Workshops, and Choral Roundtables. It is through the unwavering generosity of individual donors, corporate partners and foundation support that the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir’s future is exceedingly promising as it marks three-quarters of a century. With diverse and growing revenue streams and world-class choral music, watch (and hear) what the next 75 years have in store for the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir.

Visions of sugarplums danced in audience members’ heads as this annual holiday tradition expanded to include full orchestral accompaniment for the first time in many years. These performances included the world premiere of “A Child of the Snows”, the winning piece in the Choir’s 2011 Christmas Carol Commission Competition.
CONSISTENCY. PASSION. BOLDNESS. Perhaps at no other point in the Choir’s 75-year history has the artistry of the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir been at such a high level. Every time patrons attend a Symphonic Choir performance, they are ensured a world-class experience. Our mission reflects this promise to existing and new choral works alike. The Symphonic Choir’s financial success is driven by its world-class artistic product. A packed house at the beautiful St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church in downtown Indianapolis.

In addition to the performances, educational offerings and outreach initiatives of the 2011/2012 season, this 75th anniversary season was full of special opportunities to celebrate. From a national CD release and an awe-inspiring flash mob to enhanced messaging and financial stability for the years to come, the 75th anniversary milestone enabled the Symphonic Choir to further enhance its bright future.
Three facts about the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir’s financial position: Strong. Stable. Growing. In fact, in spite of the economic turmoil of recent years, this institution enjoys notable growth in terms of revenue and the diversity of its individual donors, corporate partners and grant-making foundations.
CR EATES N E W MEMO R I E S
B UI L D S I TS B AS E
Key to such notable financial success is a high-quality artistic product, and second only to that is relationship management. Through a dedicated corps of staff, Board of Directors, singer members, and tireless volunteers, the Symphonic Choir’s advocate base consistently trumpets the institution’s mission and needs.
EL I J AH CD REL EASE
The October 2011 release of a 2-CD, complete recording featuring Mendelssohn’s oratorio Elijah was made possible by the Choir’s “Recording Fund.” Initially created in 2005, this fund provides for periodic recording and release of high quality recordings by the Choir, with proceeds from CD sales returning to the Recording Fund. The recording is also available through iTunes.
